Maps / Trail Descriptions
Ski Trails Vicinity Map
Since we have no dedicated ski track area our operating philosophy is 'We go to the snow'. The trails here are ones which are sometimes trackset but each depends on volunteer time and most importantly..snow.

Edna Creek
Edna is a higher and snowbelt area starting at the end of the plowed Road at 7.2 MP up Edna Cr. If we are setting track it runs up the main road for ~2mi to the Cayuse junction. From there a six mile loop runs to Pony-Sterling -Edna and back to Cayuse-Edna junction. About 1 mi up the main track Forest Service Road #3528 parallels Edna back east. It is the access to 'secret stashes' for vertical junkies.
Still Creek Loop
The Still Cr. Loop starts at the end of the plowed Pinkham Cr. Road at 14.2 MP. It follows West Pinkham (Rd. 856) to Road 7951 to Road 7935 back to 856. Total loop is ~ 5 mi. with 400' elevation gain. Less snowmobile traffic is found on the 7935 and 7951 legs. Those favoring less pitch going downhill like doing the loop counterclockwise.
Foothills
One of the original trackset trails in our valley, the Davey Nesbitt memorial track. Promoters of the valley will not admit it but when the valley gets the inevitable inversion/reservoir fog Foothills offers locals a sunny escape. At Lick Lake Foothills Rd. #756 is plowed to its junction with Road #7077 with wide parking area. The track up 756 may go all the way to the Therriault Pass gate(~2.4 miles, 800' climb) and another track out the 7077 road to the gate(~2miles, 300' climb.) with valley peekaboo views. 7077 is likely to have more wheeled traffic
Virginia Hill
Virginia Hill is 1.6 miles off Pinkham Rd. on the 7147 Tepee Lake Rd. Parking is limited and the plowed road past the trailhead accesses private property. In addition to mapped trails there are also interior ski tracked trails. When conditions allow Va.Hill has almost 200 acres of South Slope glade skiing.
Meadow Creek
Meadow Cr. as you would guess up Meadow Cr. out of Fortine. Those favoring less pitch travel clockwise .Not set 24/25 due to logging activity
